Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted

It seems we are sent the hardest tasks in our older age and spend much time reflecting on life. ' I think the line...Almighty will critique the taint in life' summarises the whole Crown in one succinct expression. Except for that, how could we go on? Well done and good luck... Giddy

A long poem/song, but well worth the reading. This is very well written. Death will have its day, but the Lord will intervene. Good luck in your contest.

No other way!
You deserve six here, so much of poetic skill and effort is required to write even one sonnet and you did it so many times.
The rhyming is excellent.
Beautiful work! All the best!

Hi Joyce,

You have penned a marvelous crown of heroic sonnets. I worked hard to learn how to write in iambics and yours are flawless. You have a musical rhyme and the theme is stunning. I doubt I will ever try a crown of sonnets as one must stayed focused and not deviate from the theme....you have accomplished both. Well done and good luck in the contest.....blessings, chey

Oh Joyce, this is just amazing. I have to applaud anyone who can pull one of these off, much less one that is so personal to the writer. That being said I don't think anyone on site could detail this poem as well as Rama did in her suggestions to you. There are just a couple of lines that don't scan well but in a poem of this magnitude that is nothing, but probably worth fixing so that you have perfection in writing. This was really beautiful and heart jerking. Anyone who knows your story can't help but wipe a few tears away when done reading. I applaud you for your courage. Much love and prayers your way. Jo Lynn

A very powerful work. There was a great deal of emotion for me reading this work. Though I know next to nothing on Sonnets I do know about battling cancer, and being told its terminal with 6 to 9 months at best.

There is indeed a place we get to with the acceptance and the inner peace needed to transition from this life to the next. I have come to understand the power of love in all my days no matter how painful or low they are.

This work was beyond any stars that I could give it. There is within it a pure energy, of spirit of soul. Yet one never gives up hope, and so our days are accepted as they are, blessings to enjoy the next breath the day as it unfolds.

I wish you well, I wish you healing and above all I wish you love and peace to fill all your days.
Thank you for sharing,
Maureen

Incredible feat, dear sister. Hail to the Queen! Loved best the following (they make me want to use each as a prompt for a free verse piece--they're that thought-provoking):

to wilt one petal at a time / until the breath of life adjusts / the music in my core

and "lava slop" was a great description, too. Thank God for the therapy of writing. You bless me with your words. Love, hugs, and (somewhat backslidden) prayers for you. :)
